Three Chicago actors will appear in the Broadway premiere of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” the record-breaking two-part addition to J.K. Rowling’s world of wizards.

Alex Weisman, Jessie Fisher and James Romney will join a number of actors reprising their West End roles. Weisman, a Northwestern graduate who recently starred in Victory Gardens Theater’s production of “Hand to God,” and Romney, a graduate of Roosevelt University’s Chicago College for Performing Arts who appeared in Theo Ubique’s “Fly By Night,” will make their Broadway debuts. Fisher, a Highland Park native, previously appeared in the Broadway production of “Once.”

Based on a new story by Rowling, director John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, and written by Thorne, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” follows the grown-up Hogwarts gang and their children, who’ve inherited unwished for legacies.

Seven actors from the West End company will reprise the roles they originated, including Jamie Parker as Harry Potter, Noma Dumezweni as Hermione Granger and Paul Thornley as Ron Weasley. Poppy Miller (Ginny Potter), Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter), Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy) will also be heading to Broadway.

Preview performances for the Broadway production begin in March 2018, with the official opening at New York's Lyric Theatre set for April 22.
